About our film set catering in Salford
Crews in Salford work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. We serve spit-roast lamb, salads and a vegan option, and we are frequently booked for shoots on location and countryside locations.
Near Salford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Post allergen details at base
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Salford is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
For event organisers in Salford
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
